Ancillary data used for global GPP simulations by the JULES land surface model for 2001-2010

This dataset contains the ancillary data (soil, vegetation, etc) used for simulations of Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) by the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) Land Surface Model (LSM) at global scales for 2001--2010 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7488/ds/1461). Data is available at 3 different horizontal spatial resolutions (0.5x0.5, 1x1 and 2x2 degrees). The data is organised on a 2D grid. All files are in netCDF format. To briefly view information regarding the files, there is software on Linux called ncdump (to read the data and metadata) and ncview (to plot the data without writing computer code).
